“What the heck is wrong with that boss of yours?" Blaire asked as Giselle hung her bag on her shoulder and tucked some strands of hair behind her ear.

Giselle thought about packing her hair in a ponytail.

"Doesn't he understand it is the freaking weekend?" Blaire pressed.

Giselle heaved a sigh as she sat on the sofa and began putting on her shoes. They felt tighter every day.

She really needed new ones.

Blaire scoffed. "Can't he handle emergencies by himself?"

Giselle stood up and walked toward the mirror.

"It is the weekend, Giselle. You have to rest. He stressed you this week," Blaire said as Giselle used a band to tie her hair while looking at herself in the mirror.

She was wearing a blue knee-length dress that was slightly fitted.

"And you have to spend more time with the kids," Blaire added.

Giselle turned to her. "You are right, Blaire. But I have to work. I have no choice."

Blaire heaved a sigh, folding her arms.

Giselle approached her. "Guess what?"

Blaire rolled her eyes.

    Giselle sighed as she unlocked the door to Harley’s office. She walked in and turned on the lights.So much for partying.If it weren't for Damien, she wouldn't be there. She would be with her kids right now, not witnessing the drama between Xavier and Arabella.So annoying.She couldn't even drink. She was banned from taking anything beyond water and fruit juice.Drinks had literally destroyed her. She couldn't let that happen again.She walked toward the desk and picked up the only file on it, which had "Monday" written on it.Opening it, she discovered it was Walker’s shoot. Wow. Another shoot. She blushed, recalling her huge portrait on the wall of his company building.She couldn't believe her eyes. She looked very beautiful in the picture.She loved it.Damien was such a nice guy. He had paid for everything she was wearing. He had taken her to a nice restaurant and a spa where she got everything done.He was very nice.No doubt she liked him.What was there not to like?She turn

    The night is beautiful and a bit windy. It is past eight pm and the city's lights are igniting the beautiful city. Lens Masterpiece company has two huge lights at top of the building that is pointing to the sky. The building is booming with music, and moving down, you would see a projector on the wall of the building, displaying most of Arabella’s personal pictures and some of her and Xavier together. A lot of exotic cars are piling up in front of building. There are a lot of press and photographers all over the place taking pictures of the arriving guests in their beautiful attires. There are flashes of lights from the cameras all over the area, giving the sense of a Met Gala event or Oscars. There is a red carpet on the ground, leading from the end spot of the company's compound to the inside of the company. There is also a long red ribbon on both sides of the carpet, separating the press and the photographers from the carpet pathway. Guests dressed in very beautiful and expen

    Giselle furrowed her brows in confusion.Why is she here?How did she get here?She looked at the bed. Her kids were not with her.What was going on? She didn’t understand.She moved to get out of the bed, but the door opened, revealing Xavier.She froze.He was dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, holding a covered plate and a glass of juice in his hands.She furrowed her brows.He smiled at her the moment their eyes locked."Good morning, baby," he said, walking towards her."Baby?""Rise and shine," he said, placing the plate and glass on the nightstand.He leaned in front of her, smiling.She shifted a little, confused to say the least."What's wrong?" he asked, furrowing his brows."What is this, Xavier?""What do you mean?" he asked, pretending as always.She scoffed, standing on her feet and moving away from him."Baby, what is—""Baby?" she retorted, scoffing.He furrowed his brows."Did you kidnap me?""What?""Yes. That's what you did. You kidnapped me. Where are my

    Giselle's heart raced more than it already did. Xavier was kissing her roughly and holding her tightly.What had gotten into him all of a sudden?She struggled to push him away from her. She moaned out of frustration, hitting his shoulders with her hands, but he kept on kissing her. He held the back of her head tightly.She felt pressure between her legs. She experienced a lot of emotions: adrenaline, goosebumps, pressure, and anger.He was too strong for her. She didn't like this. What was wrong with him?He moved them toward his desk, making her rest on it as he continued kissing her.She did what her instincts told her to do. She kicked his groin, making him let out a groan and release her. She attempted to run away, but he held her hand and drew her back.In an instant, she gave him a hard slap on the face, making him look away.Giselle was panting in anger. She wanted to hit him again and again. He deserved it. He was her worst nightmare.Her worst mistake!“You bastard! Don’t yo

    “Big sis," Alex called.Giselle got on her feet and walked around her desk while still staring at Alex. He was amazed to see her.So was she.He looked different. Different from the little Alex she used to carry in her arms all those years ago. She hadn't seen him in a long time, even after she got married.He was very tall, muscular, and very handsome too.She got closer to him, and they hugged each other."I can't believe my eyes," he said, unwrapping her and looking at her from head to toe."You look different and more beautiful," he added.She chuckled. "Oh my God, Alex. You don't know how happy I am to see you.""Me too, big sis. I looked for you after our parents told me what happened. I couldn't reach you. Aria and I couldn't reach you. I still can't believe what they told me."She stared at him."That you are not my real sister," he added.Her heart clenched."Seriously, sis, I didn't know. Aria and I didn't know until they kicked you out," he said worriedly.She nodded. "It

    Loads of regrets washed over her as he smirked at her.She felt terrible.She felt dirty.She felt shameful.She felt pissed beyond anything. She pushed him away, and he almost fell."You bastard!" she yelled, pushing him again."Don't you ever come near me again!" she almost cried, running out of the kitchen.She ran toward the restroom and entered one of the stalls. Sitting on the toilet seat, she covered her face with her hands.She cried silently, feeling very awful.That didn’t just happen to her.He was a devil.He was a bastard!She hated him!She hated him so much.What is wrong with you, Giselle? How could she let him come near you like that?How?!What is wrong with you?!She hugged herself, sniffling.She felt so pathetic.She couldn’t believe she let this happen.She felt very awful.Damn you, Xavier.Damn you!*******After some minutes in the bathroom, she headed back to the studio. She managed to compose herself before stepping out.She still felt awful, but she had to
